ball continue games hit matter work
There are so many games left, we just have to continue to work hard. We haven't hit the ball well all year. It's only a matter of time.
case fine sure wings
Whatever. They (the U.S. team) want to keep me in the wings in case (Alex Rodriguez) doesn't play, that's what happened. If it was someone else, I'm sure they say it was OK. But I'm fine with it.
spring training veteran
Spring training doesn't matter. Stats don't matter. You take that time, especially the veteran guys, to get ready.
afraid dropping early guys hurt ready saw spring takes training
I just think guys were more afraid of getting hurt than anything. I know what it takes to get ready. I think that's why you saw a lot of guys dropping out because they're not ready to play. It's too early to play, especially competitively. That's why spring training is what it is.
deserves love managing
But he deserves a managing job. I'd love to see him go.
good pitchers
That's a good sign. The most important thing is we need our pitchers back in line.
I just wanted to get off the turf.
I know Lackey said something back in Oakland, and he said something today, too.
aggressive approach attack bat funny less letting pitch seeing slowing swing worried wrong
I have the right approach now. I had the wrong approach. Now, I'm less aggressive and I'm letting things happen. I like to swing the bat and attack the ball. I'm seeing the pitch and slowing it down a little bit. As funny as it sounds, I'm really not worried about my numbers.
caught guess hard wrong
I guess he caught Kendall in the wrong moment, which isn't hard to do.
caught guess hard jason wrong
I guess he caught Jason at the wrong moment, which is not hard to do.
behind hit hitters needed
I never said I needed someone to hit behind me. I just said I needed someone else in the lineup. If you only have one or two hitters in the lineup, you're not going to win.
envisioned games half point
I never envisioned half of what we've done. Going through what we went through, I just wanted to get back to the point where we had competitive games - not even winning, just competitive games.
good players stuff
There's too many good players over there for that stuff to happen,
